Let’s toast to the end of our democratic way of life with a lovely gig.

Tony Blair Should Be on Trial for War Crimes, Not Running Gaza Donald Trump wants to put the former British prime minister on a new board to manage post-war Gaza. Here’s why that’s a terrible idea, @mehdirhasan.bsky.social writes: zeteo.com/p/tony-blair...

Ever notice how the biggest changes often begin in the smallest places? The corner café, the Saturday market, even a neighbour’s kindness. Just published The Chorus of Small Acts, where I try to wrestle with that. #politics #democracy #stayalert

As of today, we shall no longer be in a position to truly know US inflation figures, or indeed any data. Projections: Goldman Sachs: Core PCE ≈ 3.5% YoY FOMC: around 3.0 to 3.1% OECD: Headline CPI ≈ 3.9% peak Fed median consensus sees inflation settling around 3%.

A stronger case for why D.C. should become a state has never been made. Trump’s seizure of power today is based on false pretext and is meant to distract from Epstein. But it has real consequences. The people of D.C. should not be ruled by a tyrant. This is intimidation without representation.

I was curious how an old critique of plutocracy could still resonate today so I followed that thread through policy decisions, economic tactics and the quiet recalibration of governance. #OhYouUS

2008 was a dam bursting; 2025 is a slow, silent leak — different tempos, same collapse. #US #Pensions #PrivateEquity

Not all revolutions roar; some shimmer quietly, trembling on the dance floor. We dance — for every battle we fight today. (Genevieve O'Reilly captures Mon Mothma's final unravelling: "dancing to stop herself from screaming.") #StarWars #Andor #Season2

What if the future whispered instead of shouted? As I wandered through the plans for Expo 2025 Osaka, I found timber rings, living hearts, and quiet revolutions offering a gentler vision of tomorrow. #Expo2025 #Osaka

Let's be real… the weather is getting pretty rough outside.

Oh wow! Great news!

Dr. Strangelove’s absurd War Room mirrors today’s digital chaos. From executive orders to social media algorithms, Kubrick’s satire feels more relevant than ever. #Movies #Politics #Article

Remember when social media effortlessly connected the world? Those days are behind us. Now, we fight to reclaim openness and freedom in spaces like #bsky. A new age begins. #SocialMedia #Article

In the end, I’m Still Here is not just a film about Brazil’s past; it is a mirror reflecting our present. It challenges us to confront the ways in which authoritarianism continues to shape our world, and to consider what it means to resist in the face of overwhelming odds. #Film #GoldenGlobes

While cyberfascists revel, we're bracing for a tough year: Missing eggs, pricey milk, and something feels off? The global spread of H5 bird flu has hit poultry and U.S. dairy cows, with 66 human cases reported. Mass culling is disrupting industries, driving losses, and straining food supplies. #H5N1

Me: Carefully curating my #Sundance movie picks for the year. Movie description: A woman swaps bodies with a chair, and everyone likes her better as a chair. Me: ...Right. Adding that to the list.

For 2025, our Godzilla is the relentless monster threatening our mental health, driving us to wage a 24-hour battle against fascist algorithms and wannabe tech-dictators.

Enquanto a Argentina se torna um hub para operações militares dos EUA, Zuckerberg tenta imitar o dono do X, eliminando verificadores de fatos e declarando uma guerra digital contra a América Latina. Bem-vindos a 2025, e conheça o seu mais novo vilão, alimentado pelo ódio coletivo, o Ciberfascismo.

DAMMIT NPR. I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded. Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

TL;DR: The current system isn't logical. Apple's "GSM-Symbolic" research shows that large language models struggle with math, often depending on patterns instead of true logic. Even small changes in numbers or adding unnecessary details can lead to mistakes, highlighting the limits of these models.
